0:01:04 > 0:01:08HE WHISTLES

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Evening.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Hi, I'm Andy. I run the prehistoric gallery here at the National Museum.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28I am just off to meet my assistant, Jen.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31We've got a mammoth job to finish before we go home.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Come on, I'll show you.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Hi, Jen.- Hi, Andy.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42I am just getting this woolly mammoth's tusk into place.

0:01:42 > 0:01:48I have rigged up a fully automated rope and pulley system,

0:01:48 > 0:01:53controlled via my computer tablet.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Well done.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57I thought it would be easier than carrying it ourselves.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58I have got one in place already.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I am so glad, Jen, it could have taken me a long time

0:02:01 > 0:02:02to put these tusks in.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05You know, they weigh 80 kilos each. Almost as much as me.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Wow, That's really heavy.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11I mean...the tusks, not you.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15These tusks would have belonged to a fully grown, adult woolly mammoth.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, have a look at this.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Oh!- If we count these rings we find out the age of the woolly mammoth.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Just like a tree trunk.- Exactly.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29One, two...

0:02:29 > 0:02:3334! I'm a fast counter.

0:02:33 > 0:02:3534!

0:02:35 > 0:02:39So the mammoth this tusk belonged to would have been 34 years old.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44And then 30,000 years later it's here in our museum.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Oh!- Woah!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49No!

0:02:52 > 0:02:58It's broken! Mrs Pickles, she's going to be so upset.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Can we glue it back together?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02We don't have a glue strong enough for that, Jen.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03What are we going to do?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Well, we'd better think fast, Andy, we are running out of time.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:10 > 0:03:13SQUAWKING

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Time. That's it!

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Jen, you stay here and try to sort this out,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23I will be back soon with another tusk.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

0:03:26 > 0:03:30But, Andy, mammoths are extinct!

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Waistcoat, hat, backpack, gizmo.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53To the time of woolly mammoths.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Woah!

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Oh! I made it!

0:04:26 > 0:04:30I've traveled back 30,000 years to the time of the woolly mammoths.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Hang on, what's that?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35DISTANT ROARS

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Yes!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Woolly mammoths! It's a whole herd of them!

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Look at the one of the front, he is missing a tusk.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51It must have come off when he was fighting another woolly mammoth.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54If I can find that tusk then maybe I can use it

0:04:54 > 0:04:56to replace the one that I broke.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Excuse me, can I have a lift?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Now, this is what I call a lookout point!

0:05:18 > 0:05:22I can see the whole world from up here.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Still can't see any tusks though.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31FLIES BUZZ

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Pfft! Shoo! Shoo!

0:05:33 > 0:05:35I can see flies.

0:05:35 > 0:05:40And lots of them. Get...! Shoo! Ah!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Ow! And biting insects.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48Stop! Shoo! Oh, Honestly.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53I don't know how the mammoths cope with them. Shoo!

0:05:57 > 0:06:00MAMMOTH GROWLS

0:06:00 > 0:06:02So that's how they cope with them.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13They cover themselves in mud to keep away the flies. Genius.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Hey!

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well, I guess that was fun.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I've been walking for hours and still no sign of any...

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Hang on. People!

0:06:47 > 0:06:52Of course! 30,000 years ago, early humans lived on these plains.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57I wonder if any of my ancestors lived here.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Oh! And look!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02They're holding tusks. Right.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Excuse me. You haven't got any spare tusks at all, have you?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Woo-hoo!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

0:07:14 > 0:07:18I guess not. Whoa!

0:07:20 > 0:07:26THEY SHRIEK

0:07:26 > 0:07:29DEER GROAN

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Oh! She is not after me. She is after those deer. Ooft!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oh! I still need to find a tusk.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41THUNDER RUMBLES

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh, sounds like it might rain.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Maybe I can take shelter in those huts over there.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Ah! Oh, it is very dark in here.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Set to torch mode.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Hang on a minute. Mammoth tusks! Huh?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16According to my gizmo, early ice age hunters

0:08:16 > 0:08:20used to build shelters out of tusks and animal skins.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23All tied together with mammoth hair.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yes!

0:08:25 > 0:08:28But I can't take one of these back to the museum.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30This is someone's home.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33CRASHING What was that?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Thunder again?

0:08:35 > 0:08:39MAMMOTHS ROAR

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Whoa! What's going on?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Whoa!

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Maybe it's an earthquake! What...?

0:08:50 > 0:08:53ROARING AND CRASHING STOPS

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Oh! Thank goodness that's... CREAKING

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Whoa!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02..over!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Oh! Oh, no.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Oooh! Urgh!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Great(!) I am stuck!

0:09:13 > 0:09:17What am I going to do?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19My backpack!

0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's always full of useful things!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Maybe there's something in here that can help.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27If I can get it off.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Right. What have we got in here?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37A saucepan.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Hot water bottle.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50What's this? A kazoo. How are these things going to help me?

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Hang on. Maybe I can call for help!

0:09:56 > 0:09:59I hope it works. All right.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02KAZOO SQUEALS

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Hmm?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01I'm just off to the prehistoric gallery.

0:13:01 > 0:13:06Andy tells me he has two magnificent woolly mammoth tusks to show me.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Are you sure he said TWO woolly mammoth tusks, Mrs Pickles?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Oh, yes, quite sure.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Well, you see, Mrs Pickles, there was an accident, and...- Oh, Andy!

0:13:26 > 0:13:31Those tusks look magnificent! Well done, you two.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34They look even better than I remember.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Thanks, Mrs Pickles.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Just been cleaning them up.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42You may want to clean yourself up a bit too, Andy.
